Reggaebass

I’ve had many other basses but after the initial honeymoon period I’ve always ended up picking up one of my jazzes or precision’s, they just feel like home to me so they are all I buy now

Nice one Chris, I’ve played this a long time ago and it’s quite a tricky one I thought than it first sounds

Dancehall Friday, I think this one will just squeeze in and can’t remember if we’ve had Beres Hammond yet

Just found out that Junior Byles passed away yesterday, RIP and respect

If you like Bitty McLean and Sly and Robbie, which I think is a great combination, I’d recommend giving the album Forward a listen, really enjoyed it

I think it’s an intentional feature myself and not faulty machinery or they would have put it right in the first place

They obviously didn’t know what they was talking about Jazzy, it’s a beauty

Here’s a picture of the underside of a set from 63 , interesting it is just a contour/step to the edge

Well spotted , I’ve been looking and it appears that they stopped using the stepped one in late 65

Yeah I think so dmc, could just be different manufacturers, just looked at mine out of curiosity both labella

I cut mine a bit longer than Chris so about 2 1/2 inches which gives me 3 winds or so, it doesn’t matter how short or long you have them it wouldn’t change the silks lining up I don’t think, most of my labella’s just line up as it’s the way they are made

Hi jezza, Could you open up some of the wood around the broken bit with a small screwdriver enough to maybe get some long nose pliers on it to unscrew

I’m no expert on the 5 string but to me the headstock is the wrong shape for a fender , truss rod adjustment is not at the heel, pretty sure the American pro ll has 2 string trees, wrong neckplate, wrong bridge, I think it’s as described as not a fender

If anyone is interested the Bob Marley Uprising live concert is on Sky Arts , and another good program is on after that too about Marley , and later is the Cimarons story which is definitely worth recording, quite a touching story

Learning the Bassline to this one and while going through different recordings I came across this, backed by the Gladiators

John Holt today

Sounds like a great night, nice one

That’s what I used for quite a few years and I’ve still got one of them, great cabs , nice deep bass

A favourite of mine at the moment I’ll be working on tomorrow

Good tune Tandro, on hearing that this came straight to mind , old classic

The baass was half way round from me

Not as far as some here but all the way round the M25 , 33 junctions I think

That’s what I have too on my Hohner B2A which is the same scale I think, great strings

It’s a bit pricey for a set of flats imo, but if it turns out that they feel and sound exceptionally great for you then it’s worth it , you don’t know until you try, I held back buying the Olinto signature flats because I thought they were too expensive ,but gave in and bought them eventually and I’m really glad I did as I’m liking the change from my normal strings

Nice one, very good
